Julia bought 300 pounds of grain for her

horses. When a rainstorm flooded the
storage shed, 30% of the grain rotted and
had to be thrown out. How many pounds
of grain will Julia be able to use?

Answer:

210 pounds

Explanation:

So you can solve this by making an equation of 300 times 30 is equal to 100 times x so 9000 is equal to 100x so x=90. So she can use 210 pounds.
